No fly zones

How accurate is the information stored on the drone.

Anyone experience problems with it or distances ?

The no fly changes are not that old, and people took their time upgrading as well. It may be some time yet before much feedback is available..

I had a situation today when I was well outside no fly area and I got a height restriction flag up.

It might have been a temporary exclusion only. If you can check notams in the area you may find out what it was.

I would not thought the drone could handle the amount of data for temporary exclusions.

Height restriction is something that is configurable in the Vision Assistant. It's not a flight restriction. Given most of where I fly is restricted to 400ft i've set mine at 390ft. If I try to go above you get that appear on the screen. To change it simply adjust the settings with the bird plugged into your pc / mac.

I have set my height to 500M (approx 1600 feet) but at 112M (360 feet) I was getting an aircraft symbol and height restriction warning flashing up. I could not see text clearly as it was very bright out when I was flying.

What appears on your screen if you go above set limit ?

In a different thread someone mentioned that they noticed the airplane symbol was used in both airport and distance limit warning. If you're not near an airport it probably was your distance limit. For whatever reason DJI is only using one symbol, which may be confusing.
